USFOL Volunteers Continue to Support Community-based Programs in Curacao

WILLEMSTAD - On January 15, 2015, ten men and women from the U.S. Forward Operating Location (USFOL) visited the children and staff of Fuik Children’s Center to support their program through sports and other activities. The Fuik Center provides an encouraging after-school environment for children to get help with homework and focus on special skill-building activities. The USFOL team spent the afternoon painting faces, decorating the center, and interacting with the children and staff.

On January 22, 2015, nine volunteers from the USFOL visited the Siloam Orphanage to donate money and 36 kilos of various items that the
Orphanage needed. The volunteers spent the afternoon with the staff and children, who have gotten to know the USFOL volunteers during their community outreach programs. Siloam provides for children with a variety of needs.

Community outreach activities at the Fuik Children’s Center, Siloam Orphanage, and other programs express the USFOL’s long-standing appreciation for the hospitality they receive from the citizens of Curacao.
